Exam 4: Teaching Strategies for Model-Based Instruction

All students must be doing the same task in an individual task structure.

In role-playing tasks, students learn to be more than players, such as: officials, referees, judges, score keepers, coaches, and trainers.

A preventive management plan is used to increase appropriate student behavior and engagement in class.

Critical thinking for physical education means reflective thinking used to make reasonable and defensible decisions about movement tasks or challenges.

In the cut and go strategy for grouping, the teacher should spend a lot of time deciding which students are in each group.

Partial skill practice means breaking movement into sub-skills that can be practiced one at a time, in a planned sequence.

In a token economy, students receive a point, sticker, or some other non-valuable coupon for each instance of appropriate behavior observed by the teacher. Once students accumulate a predetermined number of 'tokens,' they can exchanged them for small material rewards or privileges.

With intratask variation, students can practice the same skill in several ways, all with about the same level of difficulty.

Instructional strategies refer to a wide range of operations that are intended to directly promote the intended learning outcomes in a lesson.

A task presentation provides students with necessary learning task information.

Random group selection saves time by placing the grouping process in the control of the teacher.

Convergent questions lead students to one, or a few, possible answers.

Bowling delivery, basketball dribbling, golf swing, and swimming are examples of partial skill tasks

In cooperative task structures, the teacher gives each group a problem to solve or a task to complete, and then directs the group to work together toward that goal, with little direction or intervention.

Modified games provide students with increased action, more opportunities to use strategy and tactics, and better competition.

The best way to check for understanding is to ask questions that lead students to 'yes' or 'no' answers so that you may proceed with the lesson.

When a student just wants to be noticed by the teacher and initiates minor disruptions to get attention, a good strategy is to extinguish the behavior by simply ignoring it.

One of the most often used behavior management techniques is time out, in which a student who has been observed or heard in an inappropriate behavior is taken out of the class activity for a set amount of time.

Time out is most effective with students who do not want to be in physical education class or be part of the activity of the moment.

Curriculum formulation attempts to combine physical education with other content areas in the school curriculum.
